Paris is one of the few 'must' places on that list for me other than the places I've lived before.kimanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631078429676761765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-1129925080907125492005-10-21T22:04:00.000+02:002005-10-21T22:04:00.000+02:00Daphnewood - I share your oddity, and think the co...Daphnewood - I share your oddity, and think the cow mascot for the chicken restaurant is great. Perhaps the restaurant was going for a 'total frog' experience. And based on your comment about frog being dry if you don't cook it right, I think we got expertly cooked frog. Those little legs were very tender. And a good weekend and a hug (and accompanying Portuguese style beijinhos) to you too!<BR/><BR/>Portuguesa Nova - Yeah, wasn't it just though? I'm already looking forward to wherever we'll be going when Thor's dad turns 70 - or maybe it will be up to me and Thor's brother next, as we'll both be 40 in not too long.kimanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631078429676761765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-1129919631581107582005-10-21T20:33:00.000+02:002005-10-21T20:33:00.000+02:00What a gift.

Although I find it weird that a restaurant would have so many frog items about when you are about to eat them. Every restaurant that does that just boggles my mind. Even the chain Red Lobster. Why hang so many fish trophies? Maybe it is just me. There is this fast food chain called Chick-Fil-A that sells nothing but chicken. Their mascot is a cow. Now that makes sense to me. I am really showing my oddity aren't I? okay well you have a great weekend Kimananda *hugs*Daphnewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031895782046396168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-1129877484658716202005-10-21T08:51:00.000+02:002005-10-21T08:51:00.000+02:00Leslie - come to Europe, it's cool!

Denmark is a good place to live, but Danish is not an easy language, or at least it hasn't been for me.<BR/><BR/>Rich - Interestingly, the frog's legs I had didn't have much of a taste of anything. They were not bad, they were very tender...but quite bland. And you might want to re-think the Pompidou...the building is ugly, but it is <I>the</I> place for modern art, and has a cinema as well, which seems to have artsy and documentary films.<BR/><BR/>Chibithulhu - I though I recognized that frog!kimanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631078429676761765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-1129860400789043092005-10-21T04:06:00.000+02:002005-10-21T04:06:00.000+02:00Tsathoggua! known to the Old Man of Providence as...Tsathoggua! known to the Old Man of Providence as St. Toad, as in "Beware the bells of St. Toad's," from hi9s famous epic poem <I>The Fungi From Yuggoth</I>. Tsathoggua is my brother, the jokester of the family. He was exiled from the endless nighted gulfs for inventing toes and then, shortly after, inventing sturdy furniture for toes to be stubbed on. While the rest of the Old Ones focus on cosmos-spanning entropy and despair, only Tsathoggua, whom you hold in those photos, could appreciate the smaller details like stubbed toes.Dok Holocausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615513102410548001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-1129857364702562162005-10-21T03:16:00.000+02:002005-10-21T03:16:00.000+02:00Lucky you!I agree, the Centre Pompidou is butt-ugl...Lucky you!<BR/><BR/>I agree, the Centre Pompidou is butt-ugly. I've seen pictures of it and they were enough to convince me to stay away if I ever do visit Paris. <BR/><BR/>I would love to visit the Louvre, however.<BR/><BR/>Frog legs, surprisingly, are not all that bad. Then again, when I had them they were battered and fried like chicken. I may have missed the more <I>subtle</I> aspects of the flavor.Rich Dunbeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565021740985135579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-1129854130588245952005-10-21T02:22:00.000+02:002005-10-21T02:22:00.000+02:00Oh Kimananda, I'm so jealous!

I was going to go to Australia but couldn't because of my back problems. However, I really do want to make it out there. I don't care where. Maybe I can go to Denmark? I do so love learning new languages. The last one I tried to learn was Russian. Is Danish hard?<BR/><BR/>P.S. AH the frogs!
